Wall to Wall Sisal: Yes or No?
Im not the biggest fan of wall to wall carpeting… EVEN in a bedroom. I can see why people like it, but I’m kind of a wood floor kinda girl.
I DO, however, make an exception for wall to wall sisal. In my mind its almost the only W2W carpet that I think can hold its own in a living room.
Thoughts?

And the last photo, I have that rug in black in my hallway (not wall to wall) its hot.

I’m with you. I’m not opposed to it because it almost reads to me as wood floor, because it’s natural. But then I think of cleaning it… Not for me, I guess.
I’m with you. I think it looks fantastic with a rug layered on top of it…and I don’t usually like layered rugs.
ha! we’re twins. just posted about wall to wall seagrass yesterday! I am loving the natural fibers in a wall to wall look. I think Ima do it!
I actually love it! It’s one of those rugs that goes with everything and then you can really focus on the accessories in the room!

I love the idea, but I still like using rugs to tie a space together. Where did you get the black rug? I’m curious!
Stark sample sale!
I really like the idea too. I recently ripped up the ugly old carpet in our bedroom, only to find the hardwoods below had a lot of water damage….Maybe sisal would be the way to go on this- esp since it would be more budget friendly than refinishing the floors. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the way it looks, however it’s not soft to the foot and it’s hard to clean I’ve heard. It sure does look great though! I think I’d prefer to use as a rug.
I actually like how it feels underfoot. I know people that HATE it though. I have it in my hallway…so we walk barefoot on it all the time. I dig it.
Yes yes and more yes. That first photo is totally to die for!
I love it!! Sisal is one of the most elegant and British looks around. I have just replaced my 18 year old sisal rugs in the dining room and study. I have never had a spill and they survived two dogs scratching their backs on them. They were vacuumed once a week. My only problem was the twine type binding was wearing out on the edges where the traffic pattern was. My husband said that he hated them and I could never get new ones. So I just replaced them with needlepoint rugs. (Stark Outlet sale in Norwalk!) I have regular wall to wall carpet in my other house in Colorado and the dogs are always throwing up on it. Go figure.

I hate carpeting! Sisal gives you an added texture yet a low profile so it’s still neutral and allows for accent rugs. The ginormous pile that traditional carpets can have is horrible. Plus, sisal kinda helps make every space look eclectic & chic.
agreed. saw it in katie fine’s house and have wanted it ever since. is their a version that feels a little better on ur feet tho?
